Book Description
On the eve of revolution, the decadent upper classes of Madrid struggle to maintain a life of conspicuous consumption and extravagant display. This caustic masterpiece of ironic style follows Rosala's attempt to keep up appearances, accumulation of secret debt, and ultimate exchange of the only commodity of value she still possesses: herself. The equal of contemporaries Balzac and Hardy, Galds is Spain's best-kept literary secret.

Book Description
In Spanish, annotated edition. Witness to the devastating effect of the religious problem in Spain -more acute during the first years of the the Bourbon Restoration (1875)- and the terrible clash between the Europeanized, liberal, egalitarian spirit and the traditionalist, provincial spirit, that opposed with ferocious fanaticism any new ideas that might challenge their cherished beliefs, Benito Perez Galdos believed that religiousness exceeded the personal questions and was tearing apart families, not to mention the entire nation. He thus set to write Doña Perfecta: a warning cry about a theocratical and mummified society in which the self-interest of the Church (Don Inocencio) caused it to work with the feudal landowners (Doña Perfecta) to stir up local political bosses and guerrilla leaders (Caballuco), who in turn lead the labradores and peasants (el tío Paso Largo, Frasquito González, José Esteban Romanero) to slaughter. If Juan Valera's Pepita Jiménez can be considered the epitome of the idealistic Spanish XIX century novel, Doña Perfecta seems to be Perez Galdos' answer or rebuttal.

Book Description
What! Have you never heard of Caballuco?" said the countryman, amazed at the crass ignorance of Dona Perfecta's nephew. "He is a very brave man, a fine rider, and the best connoisseur of horses in all the surrounding country. We think a great deal of him in Orbajosa; and he is well worthy of it. Just as you see him, he is a power in the place, and the governor of the province takes off his hat to him.Download Description
